Okay, so, Ibrik Kitchen. Seriously, you have to try it. We went with a group of six, and honestly, we just went wild on the appetizers. Like, we ordered every single one. And you know what? No regrets! Every single one was amazing. Usually, there's always one dud, right? Not here.
The vibe is super cozy. Think like, your cool grandma's living room, but way more stylish. It's got this old-school charm, but it's not stuffy at all. It's like they took all the best parts of Romanian cooking and gave them a modern twist.
And then, oh my god, the shoulder of lamb. It was fall-apart tender, like it had been slow-cooked for days. The flavors were just...wow. It wasn't greasy or heavy, just perfectly seasoned.
But that's not all! We also ordered two bottles of their limited edition wine. It was absolutely delicious, and it really complemented the food perfectly.
Honestly, the whole experience was just really, really good. The staff was super friendly, and you could tell they cared about the food. It's not one of those places where you feel rushed or like they're just trying to flip tables. It felt like they wanted us to have a great time, and we totally did.
If you're looking for something different, something authentic but still really delicious, you've got to go. It's not your typical Parisian restaurant, and that's what makes it so special. You'll leave stuffed, happy, and with a bottle of wine under your...

Read moreExcellent food and such a friendly ambiance.
First of all, we wanted to try a new restaurant for our company team dinner and found Ibrik Kitchen in the top 20 trending restaurants in Paris.
We tried an interesting menu combination, that I warmly recommend:
Entrée Zacusca, which is a vegetable spread, popular in the Balcans. Baked peppers (delicious!!) Mashed beans
Main course Followed by a traditional main course, called "Sarmale", which are cabbage rolls stuffed with pork and beef. This course is traditionally served in countries like Romania
Desert The desert was "Papanasi" kid of cheese doughnuts. These were covered in sour cream and as topping a delicious jam.
All this was accompanied by a very good Hungarian wine. Added a few photos to make sure we tried all this again.
We really appreciated the fact that there were vegetarian options for some of our team members.
Loved the whole experience and can't...
